Remember, the minute that has fled is no longer yours; the minute that is approaching cannot be counted as yours. The minute that is with you, this alone, is truly yours; make the best use of it; it may be the last. Be prepared every instant for entering the presence of the Lord. Pollute not the precious gifts of God; the time He has allotted you, the mind He has placed in you, and the activity of the senses He has provided you. Do not pray for something mean and mortal. Seek the Eternal. For, if that is gained, all things shall be added unto you. (SS60, p. 18)
